Features: No longer pleasing others and dragging yourself down, this is an authoritative book that teaches you how to break free from unhealthy interpersonal relationships. A bestseller for millions of copies, ranked on the U.S. Best Seller List! Are you like this? Want to take responsibility for others— including their feelings, thoughts, actions, choices, needs, happiness, and life goals. When others have problems, you inexplicably feel anxious and guilty. When others encounter problems, you have an unbearable urge to bombard them with advice or offer self-righteous comfort. When the help or advice you provide is not accepted, you become furious. Imagine that others need you; when your efforts go unrewarded, resentment grows. You degrade yourself to please others. You only feel comfortable when "giving." You feel guilty and uneasy when receiving favors from others. You often seek out those in need, only then do you feel valuable. If you have the above characteristics, you are suffering from "Enabler Syndrome!" This book helps you understand the causes, mechanisms, and harms of Enabler Syndrome, and later guides you to recover from it. "Love is a free choice, not a forced obligation."
